There is only one day left before the Morais faction of the Equality Association officially takes action. The persons in charge of each link of the master plan have basically arrived at the corresponding positions, just waiting for the action to begin and work together to put the huge machine into operation.
Yesterday, Morais gathered his own group of people in the factory, and deployed the large forces before Chloe arranged for people to come over to monitor.
Six hundred of them, along with thousands of other non-combatants, are coordinating various areas. Tomorrow they will be responsible for obfuscation, pushing out Chloe's group to contain the government's forces near the Mona Pavilion, rescuing the three Diazs, and covering the retreat.
, important tasks such as rescuing the wounded.
The remaining one thousand combatants and three hundred non-combatants were personally led by Morais to complete the most difficult task - to attack the government building, occupy the Ministry of Security and the Intelligence Bureau, and rescue Boyne, Daniel, and Ross.
come out.
Personnel on the 3rd and 4th secretly rushed to various places in two days.
The materials have long been secretly stored in their transit areas under the guise of transporting goods.
Morais, Verak, Keating and other cadres were in the factory conference room to finalize the plan. After the plan was finalized and after lunch, they would rush to the government building to prepare for the battle.
"Okay, let me briefly describe the entire combat process again. You should decide on your respective parts and see if there are any problems." Morais patiently explained the plan over and over again. "We will start taking action on time at ten o'clock.
Andrew and Menno each led 150 men and launched an attack on the main building. After the troops in the building moved towards the main building, the people we arranged inside would help cut off the passage as much as possible to make it difficult for the other party to return reinforcements and wait for them to send reinforcements.
When the signal is given, Verak, Keating, and Rabin and I will lead a 500-person raid on the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security."
"No problem." Verak nodded while looking at the map.
"No problem." Others also said.
Morais looked at the last cadre: "Barnett, you stay behind and command the remaining people to support both sides of us at any time according to the situation, treat the wounded, and take them away as soon as possible."
"Make sure to complete the task." The strong Barnett stood up straight and said.
"It's getting late. After we have lunch and make a few more confirmations on the way, you can go pack your luggage first." Morais said and put away the map.
A few people left, and before it was time to eat, they went back to the dormitory to pack their luggage, and set off immediately after eating.
Verak stepped forward and helped fold the map into small pieces. After everyone was gone, he asked his question: "I don't have much combat experience. Mr. Keating is too old to put us in such an important position."
, are you relieved?"
"Combat capability is not only reflected in your marksmanship. You can lead thousands of criminals to escape from prison. I believe you will also display outstanding command skills in this operation. As for Comrade Keating, although he is older
, but he has more experience than any of us, and if we really talk about it, his combat ability will probably not be inferior to that of any young man. The most important reason is that the combat members this time have all been trained by him, allowing them to
Participating in it can stabilize the morale of the military." Morais put the folded map in his suitcase, "After all, this is a tough battle, and I can't guarantee that I can survive."
"What are you talking about?" Verak didn't like hearing such unlucky words.
Morais smiled bitterly and fastened the lock on the suitcase: "There is nothing to avoid. In war, there will definitely be sacrifices. We cannot imagine that we can successfully complete the mission without shedding a drop of blood or dying. I
We must prepare a response plan for the possibility that I will die in combat, and I think Comrade Keating and you are good candidates."
Verak is in a complicated mood, Keating has been trying his best to cultivate and support him, and he is also quietly cultivating his own power.
Now Morais said frankly that after his sacrifice, he would hand over the command to them, which made him feel that what they did was a bit shameful.
"Like Boyin, if you dare to think and do, there seems to be nothing you can't do. You have a record of successfully leading thousands of people to defeat elite prison guards. Comrade Keating is much more stable and can come up with the best solution for various emergencies in a timely manner.
Good handling methods have also accumulated people's support during the training, and can unite everyone." Morais sat at the table, waiting for the meal, "I sacrificed my life during the raid, you two will definitely be able to stabilize everyone, and also
We will definitely be able to rescue them despite the difficulties."
"Yeah." Verak responded.
"Aren't you going to go back and pack your things?" Morais asked.
"Teacher Keating and I packed up our things last night, and he will bring them over later." Verak felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and his voice couldn't help but become a little hoarse, "What about you?"
Morais smiled and patted the suitcase he used to hold the map: "It's all here."
"Just the map?"
"Um."
"So frugal." Verak thought about his luggage. Apart from books and materials, he only had a change of clothes. "We gave everything we own to the Equality Association."
"Yes." Morais sighed with emotion. He wanted to smoke another cigarette, but found that the cigarette box was empty. "Now I am really frugal. I don't even have any cigarettes."
Verak used to smoke, but he was taken to the Thomas family to pretend to be Chris and was forced to quit: "Stop smoking. I used to smoke too, but now that I quit, my health is much better."
"I didn't notice, you also smoked." Morais looked at Verak in surprise. He never thought that Verak would be a smoker. "I'm not as good as you. I can quit just by saying quit."
And I really need this relief now. Not only can I not quit, I smoke more than when I was a soldier."
"Okay." Verak didn't interfere much with Morais' own affairs, "Anyway, pay attention to your health. You are the one who can't collapse."
After the two chatted for a while about unplanned trivial matters, the others went back to the dormitory to pack their things, carried their suitcases and returned to the cafeteria one after another, sitting down at the table where the map was originally laid.
Andre, the director of the factory, personally brought hot meals to Morais and the six cadres: "I haven't served you anything good for so many days. No matter what, I have to reward you today."
"It looks pretty good." Morais usually refused to make special arrangements, but they were leaving after dinner, and it was unknown whether they would be able to sit down together after tomorrow, so they acquiesced to eat something good to replenish their physical strength.
It also boosts morale, "Everyone eat while it's hot."
"Everyone, go ahead and eat. This meal is enough." Andre ran to serve the meal again.
Verak wanted to help but was stopped by him.
"Don't let down the expectations of so many people, have a good job tomorrow." Morais asked for a pack of cigarettes from Barnett, took two puffs, and started smoking to relieve his craving.
"Definitely!" Several people were confident.
"Teacher, have you brought everything?" Verak looked at the two suitcases next to him.
"Yes." Keating nodded, "Piaf's book was left to the workers as you said."
When Verac came, he brought two books by Piaf about the injustice suffered by women. He read it three times and gained insights into the profound content expressed in it. He decided to leave it to the workers to continue before leaving.
Pass it on so that these books can have greater value.
Piaf came with them, but failed to leave together. She went to her secret newspaper office last night and will lead people to start a public opinion war that is no less important than theirs after they start taking action.
"Okay." Verak pushed a piece of meat in front of Keating, "You can eat more."
"What's wrong?" Keating chewed his food slowly and felt that Verak seemed a little worried about him, "Afraid of something happening to me tomorrow?"
"No." Verak shook his head. His worries were very complicated, and he couldn't tell what was bothering him.
"Don't be so nervous," Keating said.
Verak said he was nervous or not. He said he was not nervous but a little nervous. He smiled helplessly: "Yeah."
After eating, the group didn't stay much longer and was escorted by Andre into a truck and rushed to the transfer station where they were located near the government building to join the others.

Next to the military warehouse in the Southern District, in the surveillance room of the Intelligence Bureau
Through a series of false moves, Diaz, Murphy, and Nord convinced the people in the Government Intelligence Agency that the Equality Society was going to attack the military warehouse.
For the sake of safety, Rock Shriver transferred more than 1,500 troops to the military warehouse. In this way, even if 600 or 700 people from the Equality Association came, he would still be confident that he would use stronger firepower and a greater numerical advantage to defeat them.
Encirclement and annihilation.
"Director, they have booked this house for so long, why is there still no one coming? It stands to reason that so many people should have come little by little a long time ago." Hawkins became suspicious of the arrangements of the Equality Association.
"It's understandable." Locke Shriver stood in front of the gramophone and listened to exciting music instead, as if he was wishing the government a victory. "They are very cautious. After booking the room, they are still not completely reassured. You can see that these days
Diaz and others are still strengthening the secret investigation to ensure that this move does not alarm us. I estimate that Equality will wait until the 4th or even the early morning of the 5th before sending a large number of people over for a short rest.
Attack."
"You said, is there another possibility, that is, equality will attack the east and attack the west." Hawkins is still not reassured.
Rock Schriver is very confident on this point: "It is possible, but we have more troops stationed near the Mona Pavilion, and we have strengthened guard patrols in other places, leaving no loopholes for them. Even if they attack in the east and west,
It doesn't make sense either. And
No matter where they are, as long as their whereabouts appear in the urban area of Lezein, our people can rush there within an hour. Think about it, when they don't have enough firepower, give him one in half an hour
When they are young, what can they do?"
"Indeed." Hawkins thought better of it.
With the government's absolute superiority in military strength and firepower, no amount of ideas about equality will work.
They only need to hold on to the military warehouses, continue to strictly control arms channels, and eliminate the possibility of the Equality Society's combat capabilities to grow, so that they can firmly maintain an invincible position.
"Keep an eye on them, it won't be too long." Morais was determined that the people from the Equality Association would come over on the afternoon of the 4th at the latest. Because the day on the 5th was the closing ceremony of the expo, and they wanted to do something in it.
, we must choose to attack late at night on the 4th and early morning on the 5th, when theoretically the military warehouses are most laxly guarded, in order to establish an advantage.
"Don't worry, our people are keeping an eye on the five nearby blocks. If there is any movement, it will be reported as soon as possible."
"That's good." As the last minute approached, Rock Shriver was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He sat comfortably at the table and poured some wine. "Would you like a drink? Hawkins."
When Hawkins hesitated, Rock Shriver poured the wine for him: "Drink a little."
"Okay." Hawkins stepped forward and took half the glass of wine.
"Celebrate the victory, celebrate that we are going higher." Rock Shriver raised his glass to Hawkins and drank the wine in one gulp.

Next to the military warehouse in the South District, the hotel where Diaz and others live
"It's the third day of the third day." Nord counted the date and couldn't sit still. He walked around the room, "Our people will take action tomorrow. By then, we will beat them to pieces and make this group of people miserable."
People also suffer."
Diaz checked the gun: "We have to be ready to evacuate."
"But people from the government are watching us all the time. It's not easy for people in our intelligence department to take us out safely, and they are very likely to expose themselves." Murphy feels that the current situation is a bit beyond what they expected when they formulated it, "
Should we adjust our plans for tomorrow?"
"We will act accordingly tomorrow. As soon as they give the signal, we will evacuate immediately, and we must evacuate at least five blocks to be safe." Diaz inspected all three pistols and distributed them to Murphy and Nord one by one.
Nord weighed the heavy pistol: "Murphy is right. It is inconvenient for our people to come here and there is a huge risk of exposure. I think we should consider them and advance the evacuation time before they rescue us.
Get out beforehand."
"No, our evacuation may not go smoothly. If the people in the Government Intelligence Agency are alerted and they realize something is wrong, it will affect the progress of our master plan." Diaz shook his head.
Tomorrow at ten o'clock, the Equality Association will launch an attack on the government building.
To be on the safe side, of course, they evacuated after ten o'clock. The later they evacuated and alerted the people in the Intelligence Bureau, the more beneficial it would be to Equality and the more time they could buy for them.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Nord just suggested, and he didn't force anything.
"Remember when I taught you how to use a gun?" Diaz asked Nord. When they went to Monlego before, they had taught Nord by the way.
"Remember, remember, do this, and do this again." Nord gave a simple demonstration. Although it was not neat, the steps were correct.
Diaz was relieved when he saw that Nord still remembered how to use it.
"No matter what happens tomorrow, even if we wait until 10:30 or 11 o'clock, or people from the Intelligence Bureau come to our door, as long as our people do not give us a signal to retreat, we must stay here without moving.
Diaz stuffed a loaded magazine into his pistol, "Got it?"
"clear."
"clear."
Nord and Murphy had no objection and followed Diaz to load the pistol.
Diaz nodded slightly, looked solemnly, and looked out the window worriedly.
